Pros

Good salary for people that have been there for more than 10 years. Pension for us but not new hires.

Cons

This company makes billions of dollars in profit yet treats it employees like it is broke and it all comes crashing down to the bottom. Making a big mistake not promoting from within the company. No opportunity to move up in the company. Does not hold people or departments liable for bad work which is rampant. Customer care is at an all time low. If you have a degree you have a job even if you have no knowledge of the field they put you in. But, will not promote someone already employed who have years of knowledge of the job and would be a much better employee for that position. Not a very good and happy environment anymore. Most people with 20-30 years can't wait to leave. Upper management is so out of touch with it's employees it is scary. All we hear everyday is numbers, numbers, numbers. We are made to stand up by a board in the morning and talk about yesterdays numbers and listen to rah rah rah jargon. It is demeaning and ridiculous. It is reminiscent of Romper Room. I am a 50 year old man with 25 years experience not 12 years old. There is a clear voice at AT&T and that is out with the old experience and in with the new inexperienced college kids that are being taken advantage of with underpaying jobs because they don't have much choice.

Good pay, but that won't even want to make you stay...

Pros

As an RSC you get paid a lot for not doing much. Keep up your numbers every month and you'll be fine. Easy to sell. Company phone. Discount on some company products and services. Paid vacation days. Great insurance coverage. 401k.

Cons

Must work weekends and most holidays. Retail schedule. Typically from 10am - 9pm. Monthly push for specific products that don't have any effect on your commission. Incompetent managers who are pawns of upper management Horrible communication between employees and upper management. Horrible union that does nothing to help when your union rights have been violated. They promote from within, but they promote those who can be easily manipulated to do what upper management wants. You need to play that game if you want to be promoted here. Hard work here only pays off with your commission, not even that sometimes. Commission structure changes every year so that RSC's have it harder to make to hit goals to get higher commissions. Commission check is combined with hourly check and is taxed by 35-40%. Constantly harassed by RSM's and ARSM's about numbers and WTR score.
